Solution: apply the patch from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102216
would you be so kind to provide an applyable -ur patch ? thank you
Hmm, the patch indeed produces a weird error message. Lokking into it, maybe later.
=) i know and i was too lazy last night to go edit it myself...
should this be fixed in control-center-2.2.1, so we can close this one ?
It's not fixed in 2.2.1.
Created attachment 13333 [details] icon-theme-installer-fix.patch I remade the patch that Mark Finlay wrote up in an appliable format. Two interesting behaviors I've noticed about this patch: 1) On bzip2 packages, it dumps this to the terminal, but installs the theme okay: bzip2: (stdin): trailing garbage after EOF ignored 2) You have to be in the Icon tab for themes to be installed into the .icons folder. Not sure if this is done on purpose or not.
revamped patch added to 2.2.2-r1 thnx for the patch fix.
